Lcb Revoking Licenses Of Two Restaurants, Private Club In Valley

Three Lehigh County establishments face revocation of their liquor licenses, the state Liquor Control Board said yesterday.

The establishments, two restaurant licensees and a private club, all were found to have committed a number of liquor law violations, including allowing lewd, immoral and improper entertainment.

The LCB said the license of H.F. Inc., operating Mr. Bee's in the Airport Plaza Shopping Center, Airport Road, Allentown, is being revoked after three citations were issued.

The citations listed a number of violations, including three charges of permitting lewd, improper or immoral entertainment and three charges of permitting entertainers to contact or associate with patrons on the premises.

Other charges included one of allowing persons "to engage in acts of deviate sexual intercourse on the premises," open lewdness, allowing immoral solicitation of patrons, illegal Sunday sales and allowing gambling or gambling devices on the premises.

Unless the revocation is appealed, the establishment will lose its liquor license on April 11, the LCB said.

The license of Naples Pizza, owned by Vincent Luvera, is due to be revoked on April 10, the LCB said yesterday. The pizzeria is in the Lehigh Shopping Center, Bethlehem.

The LCB, in two citations, said the establishment allowed lewd and improper entertainment and permitted the entertainers to contact or associate with patrons. It also said the establishment was operating without a valid health permit and permitted noise, such as music, to be heard outside.

The third establishment due to have its license revoked is the Fountain Hill Beneficial Association, 1529 Broadway, Fountain Hill, which was charged in two citations. The revocation is due to go into effect on April 7.

According to an LCB spokesman, the establishment, which has a catering club license, permitted lewd, immoral or improper entertainment and allowed entertainers to contact or associate with patrons, and sold alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises.

Each of the licensees has 30 days to appeal the revocation order in court. If they appeal, the revocation will be suspended until the action is considered.
